Poodle Skirt
Poodle skirt was an utter display of feminine
fashion in the 50's. Read the following article dedicated specially to
the poodle skirt and its importance in the history of fashion...
Fashion is one field that keeps on changing from time to time. Today's 'in' goes out of fashion tomorrow. That's the way it is! In this field where change seems to be the only constant, certain periods of time and certain fashion trends leave a legacy and that's what we call retro fashion! One of such remarkable trends is the 1950s clothing trend! I think, the fifties fashion was an era of feminism, that gave a distinct feel to women's fashion and made women all the more beautiful. Along with those loose sleeved shirts and tweed jackets, what we still remember wearing is the poodle skirt. Just the name of poodle skirt takes us back to the 1950s and those sweet poodle skirts. Read on women's clothing.
What is a Poodle Skirt?
Poodle skirts, actually need no introduction as they are quite well-known and still adored. When the poodle skirt was introduced, it actually came as a big relief from those slimline skirts. Poodle skirt is a round or circular skirt that falls around the knees. Poodle skirts used to be of bright colors and with a metallic colored appliqué of a wonderful poodle, often with sparkling eyes and a bright collar. This poodle had a bow on its head attached with a sparkling leash that found its way up to the waist of the poodle skirt. Usually, a poodle skirt was made using felt of various colors. To give them a dramatic look, they were usually worn over a crinoline. Crinoline underneath gave it an extra swish. To complete the attire, some other essential fashion accessories were, saddle shoes with bobby socks and a blouse with a cardigan. Wearing a matching scarf and styling hair with some interesting 1950s hairstyles or with a bubbly ponytail, added more glamor to a poodle skirt. Read on poodle skirt pattern as well.
Poodle Skirt History
All in all, 1950's fashion trends hold a great significance in the fashion world. It was this decade that gave an impetus to the then neglected things like movies and fashion. They were later a rage among not just teens but virtually everyone! It was a big relief after those gloomy 30s and 40s. The story of poodle skirts is interesting. It was invented in the year 1947 by Juli Lynne Charlot, who was an actress turned fashion designer by profession. "She cut a big circle of felt with a hole in the middle for her waist to fit and then appliquéd some interesting but whimsical Christmas trees on it. Charlot attended one of the Los Angeles holiday party wearing this skirt and grabbed everyone's attention.
As a result, for her next line of clothes, she was asked to make some skirts with designs of dogs! She selected poodles, instead of the Christmas tree and the rest is as they say - one of the landmarks in fashion history! Poodle skirts took the world by stride and became a cornerstone of the 50's fashion. These 'huge' skirts, as they were described back then, became a rage and were widely adopted by fashion enthusiasts around the world. An interesting thing is that they serve as easy to make and wear. Moreover they do not require any special material. As a result, girls also decorate them with some symbols of the 50's era and rock 'n roll, like a 45 rpm record or a deck of cards!! You might like to read how to make a poodle skirt.
No wonder poodle skirts are one of the most ubiquitous remnants of the 50s fashion today. They are one of the popular choices to wear on a Halloween party! Sadly, the felt gets pale with passing time and so does the glue of the appliqué. As a result, one can never treasure these skirts as vintage fashion! But, they are making a comeback; today they can be found in clothing stores! Poodle skirts were a rage in the 50s and are still popular among young school girls. Are you wondering why you don't have a poodle skirt in your closet? Well, stop wondering and get going to buy one and flaunt it in style! What say?

Tip#1: Go for hand wash or light machine wash. Use the appropriate detergent and see to it that the skirt does not become stiff.
Tip#2: After the wash, while the skirt is still wet, fold the skirt into half, and hang it to a skirt hanger or a clip and then twist the skirt from the other end as much as you can. Do not be very harsh with it. You can also tell a friend of yours to hold the waist band end, so as to twist the skirt from the other end.
Tip#3: Now if your skirt is a tiered one, knot it after every tier with the help of a twine. But if it is non-tiered, then add the knots only at the top and bottom.
Tip#4: Hang the skirt in a not so windy place so that the wrinkled look of the skirt is not messed up.
If you are wondering what to wear with a broomstick skirt, then I can suggest you some ideas. Go in for some light or dark-colored sleeveless or full sleeves short kurtis which will give you a very Indian look. The color combination is your personal choice.

How to Make a Skirt
Skirts make you feel feathery and on the rise.
Do you want to design one on your own, but are unsure where to start?
Let's sew up some information on how to make a skirt.
Before we get to the procedure, there are important things to remember. Whenever you design a skirt for yourself or for any body else, make sure you consider the body type, height, etc. Always choose the fabric and design that will suit that person, and will enhance the look and also make a style statement. Consider the latest fashions and trends if you are looking for a chic skirt that you would like to flaunt.
Easy Way to Make a Skirt
We will first learn to make a skirt without a pattern that is specific. These are basics on how to sew a skirt that will help you design various patterns, once you master this.
- To begin with, you have to choose a skirt type. That is choose if you want to wear the skirt on the hips or the waist. Once you decide, measure your hips or waist size and multiply it by 3. For example let us assume for a waist skirt, if your waist measures 27", your final measurement will be 81".
- Decide which fabric you want to use for the skirt. If you are new to designing and sewing, an easy to sew and design fabric is light weight cotton. Or you can choose from other varieties of fabric.
- When purchasing the fabric, how will you decide how much fabric to buy? Simple, all you do is divide your final measurement (81" in our example here) by the length of the yard, that is (for example) 36". The answer here comes to 2 yards + 9" . You can purchase fabric measuring little more than this. There are different widths for fabrics as well, like 36", 54", and 60". Check the print on the end of the bolt. The idea is to choose the width of fabric according to length of the skirt. If you are making a short skirt, use a short width, if you are making a long skirt use a long width fabric.
- Once the fabric is chosen, you will need to check on the design as to what other embellishments you want on the skirt. From beads, laces, buttons, badges to rickrack, ribbons, etc. You can opt for a plain skirt with no embellishments also.
- You will also need elastic for the skirt. Buy a pack of ½" of elastic.
- You will need to wash the fabric before sewing it. Now fold the fabric from short end to short end (that is, unfinished end to unfinished end), putting the right sides together. Now sew them at a seam near 5/8". Press open the seam. This how to make a skirt without a pattern will go down and at back of the skirt.
- We will need to make the waist band casing now. The idea is to make a tube for the elastic to run through. To sew this, turn 1" from the top edge of your skirt, and press. Now turn ¼" of this edge from the bottom, on the inside, and press. Now sew very close to this folded edge. Leave an opening of 1" to insert the elastic through.
- You will need to hem the bottom edge now. Turn it up by 1" from the bottom and press. Stitch close to the folded edge by turning the top edge of the hem to the crease.
- Cut the elastic to the measurement of your waist, you can add 1" to the measurement. Now run the elastic through the casing for waistband, use a safety pin for the same. Over lap the ends and stitch them. To avoid a bump on the stitch, use zigzag stitches on the ends of the elastic.
- Now to give the finishing touch, add a few embellishments if you want, or simply leave the fabric and design to create admiration.
How to Make a Poodle Skirt
To make a poodle skirt, measure your waist, this measurement will be the same for the skirt waist measurement. Choose the length (a little above the knee or little below the knee is preferable). Add 1½" to the total length for seam and hem line. Use fabric in rectangles, the longer side of these rectangles should be twice the length of your skirt length (from the waist to the knee). Mark the center for both these rectangles for the longer side when placed horizontal, on the top and bottom. Use a string (of your skirt length)and attach one end with a chalk. Now hold the loose end on this center mark at the top, and draw a semi circle at the bottom of the skirt. Now use a similar string (half of your waist length), hold it at the same center at the top and make an arc. Repeat the same procedure for the other rectangle. Now cut along the arcs that you drew, you will have two halves of the skirt. Sew the skirt, the front side of the two halves facing each other. Now hem the bottom. You can print a poodle image with iron paper on the skirt.
How to Make a Skirt Out of Jeans
Cut your jeans to the required skirt length, remember to add few inches for the hem at the bottom, and turn it inside out. Now cut the seam of the legs, up to the zip in the front and the yoke at the back. Pin the front panels (from the crotch area), leave ¾" for the seam. You can also fold in inside and cut the excess or simply sew it flat. Sew the skirt along the pinned seam, repeat the same at the back. You can use another jeans or fabric for the extra fabric if you need for the skirt. Hem the bottom of the skirt, or if you like a frayed look do not close the hem.
How to Make a Tutu Skirt
To make a tutu skirt, choose the length of the tulle fabric. You may need anything between 2 - 8 yards. Measure the waist and add 7 - 8" extra to this measurement. You can use elastic or ribbon for the waist. Cut the tulle in to stripes. Choose the length depending on how long you want your skirt and multiply by 2. The length of the stripes should be twice the length on your skirt. The width of the stripes can be of your choice. Around 2 - 6 " is preferred. Now over lap 3 - 4 stripes of the tulle on the elastic or ribbon and sew. Repeat until you cover the entire length of the ribbon or elastic. Now fold the tulle in half and again sew it over the ribbon or elastic.
How to make a skirt is no rocket science. You can use your imagination to create stunning designs for skirts. Let's sew up girls... the mirrors are waiting!
